A display apparatus including a display that displays messages includes a message retrieval unit that retrieves messages by accessing a message management server, a display method selection unit that selects a display method for the retrieved messages in response to a count of the retrieved messages, and a display controller that performs control to display on the display the messages retrieved from the message management server in the display method selected by the display method selection unit. The display method selection unit selects a first display method that displays the retrieved messages while scrolling the retrieved messages repeatedly if the count of the retrieved messages is equal to or below a display switching threshold value, and selects a second display method that displays the retrieved messages while scrolling the retrieved messages if the count of the retrieved messages is above the display switching threshold value.
